The Danube is the second-longest river in Europe. With an overall length of 2 850 km, it was a key European trade route for centuries. It flows through ten European countries before it reaches the Black Sea. The parent company of Danube Petfoods had a good reason for taking the name of the river as the business's name: when it established the pet food manufacturer in 2017, it had already amassed over 30 years' experience in the international agricultural food business and had a strong relationship with local farmers from the Danube region, which is well known for its traditionally fertile river banks.
